That seems like a terribly inefficient way of doing things. Creating many many
multiple backup copies. Especially because I save quite regularly. I could
easily end up with hundreds or thousands of backup copies. Not what I want. It
seems that there should be a system almost exactly like mediawiki's in which
diffs are saved, and you can see a list of versions, compare them--even across
ranges, revert them, spin through different versions with a next/previous
button. ect.
